Environmental parameters of deep-sea hydrothermal vents from the Manus Basin

Thirtythree diffuse fluid and water column samples and 23 samples from surfaces of chimneys, rocks and fauna were subjected to a combined analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequences, metagenomes and real-time in situ measured geochemical parameters to study distribution and niche-partitioning of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) in deep-sea hydrothermal environments of the Manus Basin, a back-arc fast-spreading center located between New Britain and New Ireland in the Bismarck Sea. […]本数据集包含33份弥散流体与水柱样本，以及23份取自烟囱、岩石及动物群表面的样本。研究人员对上述样本开展16S rRNA基因（16S rRNA gene）测序、宏基因组学分析，并结合原位实时测量的地球化学参数，旨在解析位于俾斯麦海新不列颠岛与新爱尔兰岛之间的弧后快速扩张中心——马努斯盆地——的深海热液环境中，硫氧化细菌（sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, SOB）的分布规律与生态位分化特征。[…]
